What happened: Flu cases are increasing, leading to shortages of private flu vaccines in pharmacies. Eligible individuals can still get free vaccines through the NHS.
Why it matters:
- People seeking convenient access to vaccines at pharmacies may face difficulties due to low stock.
- Those not eligible for NHS vaccines might struggle to find private options as demand rises.
MNN Take: As flu cases rise, demand for vaccines grows, causing private supply shortages while NHS services continue to provide free jabs to eligible groups.
